The Kano State government has alleged that the former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is indirectly working for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Director-General of Media and Publicity at the Kano Government House, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, claimed this on Wednesday when he appeared on the Arise TV Morning Show.
Bature said recent political alignments and engagements across the country suggest behind-the-scenes arrangements that may shape the 2027 political landscape in favour of President Tinubu.
“Kwankwaso is working indirectly or strategically for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027,” he said.
He also accused some opposition figures of holding political consultations that are damaging a united front ahead of the elections.
“I doubt if Kwankwaso and Obi will work together politically,” he said.
Kwankwaso hates Peter Obi and Peter Obi hates Kwankwaso, according to Bature.
“People with divergent political views and contrary ideologies cannot work together to win an election and govern a sophisticated country like Nigeria,” he added.
The political differences, he said, would be hurdles for cooperation ahead of the 2027 elections.
Bature had also said that the former vice presidential candidate Peter Obi might be facing political restrictions in Kano State due to the conservative nature of the state’s political environment.
